That’s right kids, you heard it here first: The Devil May Cry 4 demo you’ve heard about will be up on XBox Live and PlayStation Network this Thursday, January 24, 2008. We’re told to expect it up on XBox Live at 2am PST, and between 2 and 3pm PST on PlayStation Network.

Upside: this demo is actually fun.

Downside: While there will be plenty of devil-bringification and even a pretty sweet boss battle against this guy (boss battles are definitely a major highlight of the full game), it is just a demo, and only scratches the surface of the DMC4 fun. Even if I weren’t shilling shamelessly for Capcom, I’d still have to say this is probably the best Devil May Cry ever.

Check it out Thursday, and read on for more details about the demo, and of course pick up the full game, available February 5th.

I'm on the fence about DMC4 -- as in, will it be like DMC3 (:D) or like DMC2 (:()? Now we can all decide for ourselves.

    I don't think it's really needed, but hot damn if I'm not excited for this demo.
    I'm pretty sure this game will fucking rock, but demos at least help bide the wait 'till release.

    Well I checked out the comparison video on gametrailers and while they seem to be slightly different I have a hard time telling which version is supposed to look better.

    I just read that it will be available in all XBL regions at the same time.

    PSN gets it too, but the European PSN has to wait another week or so.


    I am SO looking forward to it!

    The PS3 DMC4 demo is up on the Japanese PSN. If you don't have a Japanese PSN account go here for a pretty simple guide on creating one. While you're at it, go download the Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan and PixelJunk Monsters demos, they're pretty awesome.

    Download finally finished, installed and played. Holy shit, I love this game already.

    All the things that just annoyed me in DMC3, like the enemy design, level design and difficulty, seem to have been fixed. Now excuse me while I go pre-order the CE (though I'm not sure if the PAL CE has all the cool shit the US one does...).

    The UK PSN isn't getting it this week (further proving that SCEE doesn't give a shit about the PS Store). It's up on the Japanese PSN and it'll be on the US PSN in 9-10 hours.

    Btw, would someone with the XBL version tell me how the controls work? I just can't imagine playing DMC using the pretty pathetic 360 bumpers.

    it's very nice

    the left trigger you pull down, let go, pull down, for charging up your sword, you're like revving it
    right bumper is autotarget, you hold it down obviously

    yellow is sword attacking
    the blue button (i forget the letter) is guns
    red button is devil hand thingy
    green button is jumping

    and left stick is obviously moving

    that's the basics

    Well I know the actual controls (they ported the PS3 controls straight onto the 360's controller) but I was wondering how well they worked on the 360 controller. From my time playing my friends 360, I found the bumpers to almost be as bad as the GC's Z button (which I hated with passion) and just wouldn't be able to stand using it as frequently as DMC requires you to.

    the 360 controller is fine with dmc4

    the bumpers weren't shit before they aren't shit now

    saying something like the bumpers are as bad as the oddly shaped z button on the gc controller? i just can't take that seriously
